Gegen Gift

Apfelstreit in Südtirol

Natural idyll South Tyrol. Not so for the citizens of Mals. They are mobilizing and want to live toxin-free. Their opponents are the apple growers in the region. They continue to use pesticides. These drift far into the surrounding areas. Everything is under control, say the apple growers - and, together with the South Tyrolean government, they are not afraid to take any critic to court for defamation. The dispute is now causing ripples throughout Europe. Much to the dismay of South Tyrolean tourism managers.

This film is shown in double feature 4.
